What’s up guys, after having fun with my fluval 13.5 I decided to finally get an actual sizable reef tank a NUVO 40L, so now I’ve got the tank setup and cycling and I’m planning out the stocking choice for it all. I want to make a mixed reef with this tank but I also want some more interesting fish which I’ve heard can be possibly not reef safe, this list includes
1 leopard Toby puffer
1 cherub Pygmy angelfish
1 flame hawkfish
1 lawnmower blenny
and possibly a springer’s damselfish
but I’d also like to ask if many of you guys would consider that to be overstocked? if so I’d appreciate recommendations for what to pull out the only non negotiable is the leopard Toby puffer. as well I’ve heard the first three options can damage coral occasionally and I want anyone’s advice on what types of corals migjt survive better in this setup. One coral I’m dead set on is getting a torch I have a frog spawn in my nano tank which I love and I want the better thing now.
But aside from that anyone have recommendations for SPS I should consider trying out and seeing if they can survive with those fish? Or softies or LPS which might endure better with those type of fish? Or even recommendations to avoid those fish becoming coral hungry.
